Cryptic pregnancy is a rare phenomenon, in other words hidden pregnancy.
Studies show that 1 in 475 women do not realize they are expecting a baby. It is very scary for a woman to find out that she is pregnant in the seventh, eighth or ninth month, and it even happens that you have labor pains without realizing that you are expecting a baby.
A few days ago in our country, the Albanian Nurses Association made public the case of a 20-year-old girl who went to the emergency room of QSUT with severe abdominal pain and ended up in the toilet giving birth to her child of which she was not aware.
To talk about this phenomenon, gynecologist Redi Hoxhallari, invited to the show "Live with the Hour", on Ora TV, said that cryptic pregnancy is a rare situation, while adding that there are no imposed conditions for this. According to him, cryptic pregnancy is also called any pregnancy that is discovered after the 20th week.
"To do the pregnancy triage is very important.
Conditions to impose a cryptic pregnancy, no. It is an unsuspecting pregnancy. They are more common in civilized societies. They are most common in their 20s or over 40s.
There are also various health situations that can be associated with lack of menstrual cycle.
I had a case of a patient who had menstrual cycle once in 6 months. She had ademons in the pituitary gland, and had not become pregnant. After removing it, she came back and in fact this time was 18 weeks pregnant.
There are two criteria of gestational age, menstrual age and ultrasound age. Sometimes there is inconsistency. Hematomas that cause bleeding often occur and can be described as a cycle.
In the event of a cryptocurrency birth, the baby needs close control. Although there is no information, control is needed.
At this time we have the opportunity for births to take place in the best conditions. In other cases, the baby remains in a precarious situation.
Cryptic pregnancy is a rare situation. "Women need to have constant check-ups."
